China’s state planner, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), announced plans for a new renewable-power quota system to be launched by the end of the year as it looks to cut large-scale waste of its renewable energy sources.

China is a world leader in green technology, with renewables accounting for two-thirds of newly installed power capacity last year.
